9 seed in the sweet 16 is not an abomination.

It happens 4.7% of the time, which is better than only 13, 14, 15, and 16 seeds.

9 seed in the sweet 16 is not an abomination.

I just mentioned it because you listed 10/15 as one of the garbage matchups. 9/16 is equivalent. FAU is a good team.

That's because they ordinarily have to play 1s.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Mostly I am saying there is a very real chance there will be no double digit seeds (or even 10s) in the sweet 16 this year.

 

[brantshawks]

That's because they ordinarily have to play 1s.

Thanks.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Thanks.

Some hammerz on that ASU dance team.

Miami, Arizona, and ASU all have next level talent on their dance teams.

The 6 seed who gets the shitty pleasure of playing the winner of the 11 seed play in game appears to be one of the most undesirable seeds in the tourney.

The 11 seed almost always is some high major talented, athletic and physical team that underachieved during the year but is catching fire enough at the end along with their name brand to sneak in. They seem to often destroy the 6 seed they play.

The winners of the play-in game have been trouble from the start. The extra game, their relative position in the field, etc, seems to make one dangerous every year.

I’d enjoy watching a roster like SDSU’s for awhile as a nice change of pace.

The FDU coach is an enormous dork.

 

[Debit One]

Those last three tournaments for Purdue.

 

[Fletch]

Those last three tournaments for Purdue.

Got a sweet 16 though

 

[Gushawk]

The Ravelingification of Iowa’s roster one more time in my life would be wonderful.

 

[ISUFan98]

That Tennessee player is not a fan of Filipowski. You could clearly see him calling him a pussy when he went to the bench with his second foul.

 

[SondyRules]

Flopping fuck Filipowski but he took a nice shot on that recent play.

 

[Alan Lomax]

Tennessee just beating fools up.

 

[Herbie2]

Super glue time!!

 

[Alan Lomax]

This game is physical approaching bullshit.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

That last three was a 2.

 

[Alan Lomax]

Tennessee having 3 fouls is outrageous. They’ve had multiple defensive possessions where 5 fouls could/should have been called.

 

[MoneyPit]

 

[brantshawks]

Tennessee has 3 guys more athletic than have ever been at Iowa.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Duke losing never gets old.

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Tennessee never takes a defensive position off. They definitely have a shot at winning it all as long as their offense doesn’t take a shit

 

[Fletch]

Tennessee has 3 guys more athletic than have ever been at Iowa.

 

[brantshawks]

Not now, Fletch.

Not now.

 

[BBK]

13 of the 16 top 4 seeds are still alive

 

[gable_guy]

Offenses so sloppy this year

 

[Hawkstrat]

Yesufu 3-of-5 from three for the tournament.

 

[newsbreaker]

Mike Pence is here, for some reason.

 

[gable_guy]

The atmosphere difference between the 2 games rn is stark

 

[KitKatApples]

Nice to see Duke get a taste of their own medicine for the first time in 40 years

 

[Hawk&Balls]

At halo?

L wade?

Missouri is pretty similar to Iowa in kenpom rankings. Iowa is 3 and 168, Missouri 7 and 162 in adj O, D.

 

[jd10]

arkansas just pulled ahead of kansas. 9ish minutes left

 

[BillyBob]

Arkansas got them a Charlie Villanueva

 

[Alan Lomax]

Arkansas got them a Charlie Villanueva

His head is confusing my tv.

 

[TH1974]

Kansas is sloppy

 

[DonJMiller]

Did the Arkansas coach just take his shirt off? What in the actual fuck?!

 

[Alan Lomax]

Missouri is pretty similar to Iowa in kenpom rankings. Iowa is 3 and 168, Missouri 7 and 162 in adj O, D.

Getting similar results, too.

 

[Matt]

Wtf lol at taking your shirt off for the sweet 16

 

[Herbie2]

Did the Arkansas coach just take his shirt off? What in the actual fuck?!

 

[Wild Onion]

That was definitely worth the ticket price.

 

[Kamala]

That was awesome. Go Hogs!

 

[newsbreaker]

That was definitely worth the ticket price.

An unbelievable amount of fun.

The sad Kansas fans. So many sad Kansas fans.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Did the Arkansas coach just take his shirt off? What in the actual fuck?!

He does it all the time. He’s a clown. But he keeps winning in March every year.

 

[Wild Onion]

An unbelievable amount of fun.

The sad Kansas fans. So many sad Kansas fans.

They’re everywhere. It’s beautiful.
